GEE is unsupported software

We will continue to host GEE for download in the hopes that it may still be useful, but due to funding issues and lack of developer resources, GEE will no longer be updated. Currenly installed copies should continue to work as long as the servers that GEE acquires data from remain unchanged, but no promises are made. Thank you.

We have made one more minor release of GEE. This fixes one issue with times within PSN files, they were interpreted as local time, but should be as GMT. It is very unlikely there will be any further updates. Thank you.

We have made a new release of GEE to address changes in the servers GEE uses. Version 2.2.1 can be downloaded here. The servers that GEE gets data from have made changes that were incompatible with GEE. We did not plan on updating GEE, but this was an easy change. It is very unlikely there will be any further updates. Thank you.

We have made a new release of GEE! Version 2.2.0 can be downloaded here. The servers that GEE gets data from have been changed.
The old servers no longer exist, and so older versions of GEE will no longer be able to access new data, although the built in modules will continue to work.

We have made a new release of GEE! Version 2.1.5 can be downloaded here. There are only a few noticable changes, but still significant.

New installer - We have a new installer for windows. It is a little clunky at present, but is free. Hopefully this will enable us to put out future releases more easily, and hence more frequently.

New servers - To deal with some network firewall issues that were blocking access to the servers that GEE needs, we have switched to a separate set of public servers. This should allow GEE to get data that was being blocked in the previous version.

Bug fixes in libraries - While we have not done much work on GEE proper, GEE depends on many code libraries that have had significant work done in the years since the last release. This fixes several commonly encountered bugs.

Version 2.1.4 is out! It fixes bugs in looking at earthquakes from REV, and talking to the network server. If you've been seeing the GEE warning dialog pop up frequently when starting Explore Recent Earthquakes, this should take care of it.

The 2.1.1 version of the manual is now online. You can get to it in the documentation section of this site.

You can now access the documentation for GEE through this site. The Documentation
page includes a .pdf version of the GEE User Manual intended for use with the 2.0.8 version of GEE. We're putting the final touches on the 2.1.1 version of the manual, so it should be up soon.

GEE 2.0.5 is now ready for download! We apologize for the quick release, but a significant bug related to displaying of seismograms was found shortly after the 2.0.4 version that we thought warranted a new version.

January 22, 2004

GEE 2.0.4 is now ready for download! Several bugs have been fixed, including particle motion and travel time flags. Gee is now able to get stations from other networks via the station chooser in the edit menu.

GEE 2.0.2 is out! This release
fixes problems with double-clicking data files on Macs, the Detecting the Layered Earth module, and an issue with the day Viewer occasionally locking up.

We have learned that there is a problem with java some
upgrades of Apple's new version of OSX, aka Panther. This causes
GEE, along with all other java programs, to not run. Apple is
working on the problem and should have it fixed soon. More
information can be found at this site and
Apple's Java Developer
site in this TechNote.
